Refills

Please see contact us for more information.

Please see the refill instructions below:

1. Cartridge insert:


• Insert the cartridge into the gripping section of the barrel. Apply slight pressure until you feel and hear the cartridge seat into place.


• The gripping section will pierce the cartridge, allowing the ink to flow into the feed assembly.


• Screw the bottom section of the barrel on over the cartridge into the gripping section of the barrel.


2. Converter insert:
   
   
   • Insert the open end of the convertor into the gripping section of the barrel.
   
   
   • Twist or slide the black end of the convertor (plunger) down to the end inserted into the gripping section.
   
   
   • Dip the nib of the fountain pen into the bottled ink so that the nib is submerged slightly below the gripping section.
   
   
   • Remove the nib from the bottled ink and twist or slide the plunger slightly to force out three drops of ink back into the bottle.
   
   
   • Twist or slide the plunger back up to the top position to draw a little air into the converter.
   
   
   • Screw the bottom section of the barrel on over the convertor into the gripping section of the barrel.
   
   
   • Use a soft cloth to wipe excess ink off the nib and body.
   
   

Our mechanical pencils are sold for either .7mm or .5mm lead. Please see the refill instructions you received with your pencil at time of purchase for the size appropriate for your instrument. NOTE: Using lead that is not the same size as the one recommended for the pencil will void the warranty.

We do not recommend inserting any more than 3 leads at a time.

Using lead that is not the same size as the one recommended for the pencil will void the warranty.

• We do recommend cleaning your fountain pen between each ink refill.


• If a pen clogs, place the nib and gripping section of the barrel in a cup of cool water.


• Let the nib and gripping section soak overnight.


• Our inks are water-soluble and will dissolve with water.


• Remove the gripping section from water and rinse it with a slow stream of cool water.


• Gently blow into the nib assembly to remove any excess water.


• You may now place a new ink cartridge or an ink convertor into the gripping section of the barrel.

• The nib should be stored point up when not in use.


• The ink will drain down into the convertor or cartridge.


• This avoids drying or clogging of the nib
